Chapter 253
For Shen Mengjie, who is filled with curiosity about what she cannot have, it truly makes her heart itch.
Because what she desires has always been the best.
After all, Long Aotian and she are essentially cut from the same cloth.
Fortunately, she is not the only one who wants to be the hunter. With the current flow of events, she is more than capable of turning a pretense into reality.
...
At a red light, Long Aotian glanced at the time on his phone.
There were still four minutes until their agreed meeting time, which was more than enough.
As he approached the campus, the traffic thinned out. Long Aotian's little electric scooter zipped along, quickly bringing him near A University.
Soon, he spotted two familiar figures in the crowd.
With so many people around, Long Aotian hesitated to call out to Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue directly.
His gaze, however, never left Hu Yuying.
Sensing something, Hu Yuying, who had been chatting with Li Qingxue, lifted her eyes to look outside.
Excitedly, she exclaimed, “Long Ge is here to pick me up!”
She eagerly grabbed Qingxue's hand, urging her to look.
Li Qingxue turned to see Long Aotian waving at them, one hand holding his helmet.
“I see him, I see him! Just stay calm,” Li Qingxue laughed, pulling Hu Yuying back slightly; otherwise, she might have dashed out.
“Long Ge said he’d be here at eight-thirty, and that as long as I made it to the school gate, I’d definitely see him...” The little girl shared her joy with her best friend.
Seeing Hu Yuying so happy, Li Qingxue felt a surge of happiness for her too.
The two of them hurried over to Long Aotian.
“Long Ge...”
Li Qingxue first pulled Hu Yuying back, who was reaching for the helmet.
Then, she shot a disapproving glance at Long Aotian and began her lecture.
Faced with Li Qingxue's scolding, Long Aotian could only chuckle helplessly and listen obediently.
He nodded occasionally in response; otherwise, she wouldn’t be happy...
“Got it?” Li Qingxue asked, hands on her hips, with a haughty huff.
“Got it,” Long Aotian nodded in reply.
“Good. Since you’ve behaved well, I won’t lecture you further this time.”
“Are you tired of talking? How about I buy you a fruit tea to soothe your throat?” Long Aotian suggested tentatively, fearing that this girl might start her endless chatter again—he was genuinely afraid of her.
Li Qingxue thought for a moment and then nodded, “Alright then.”
Hu Yuying looked at her Long Ge with amusement and shrugged.
Only Li Qingxue could keep Long Ge in check...

Chapter 308: In the Beginning, We Were All Slowly Becoming Better
“You took Ah Ying away, and now I’m all alone,” Li Qingxue said, biting on her straw, unaccustomed to suddenly being left by herself.
“It’s just for one night. Besides, you have a key to my place, right? You can come over to hang out during your break,” Long Aotian replied, while adjusting the helmet on his little girl’s head.
“Ugh, that’s not the same...” Even though Qingxue was a bit proud, she couldn’t help but whine at that moment.
Ever since they arrived in Kyoto, she and Hu Yuying hadn’t been apart except for classes.
So the reluctance she felt was perhaps something only those who have experienced such bonds could truly empathize with.
Long Aotian playfully tapped Li Qingxue on the shoulder, “You’re making me look like the villain who’s tearing you apart.”
Hu Yuying wouldn’t let Long Aotian off that easily. She quickly raised her hand to rub the spot where Qingxue had been tapped and then playfully pinched Long Aotian’s waist.
“See? We’re still good, right?” Li Qingxue said triumphantly, looking at Long Aotian.
“When the house renovations are done, will you move in too?” Seeing the two girls so close, Long Aotian affectionately rubbed Hu Yuying’s cheek, speaking with a doting tone.
With nearly three hundred square meters in the courtyard, once it was renovated, there would be plenty of room without much impact.
Hu Yuying and Li Qingxue exchanged smiles and said in unison, “Sure!”
“Then take it easy on the way,” Li Qingxue waved goodbye to Hu Yuying and Long Aotian as they got into the car, whispering, “Don’t ride too fast!”
“Don’t worry, I’m a great rider. Just ask Ah Ying,” Long Aotian replied confidently.
Suddenly, Hu Yuying pinched Long Aotian’s waist again, and feeling it wasn’t enough, she playfully punched him twice.
Long Aotian was taken aback, unsure why she suddenly pinched him, and could only rub his waist, saying, “We’re off now.”

On the other side!
Just as Xue Shaohua was about to head out to buy some drinks, he suddenly saw an electric scooter whiz past him.
“Long Aotian? Hu Yuying?”
Suddenly remembering something, he clenched his fists tightly: “Bastard! Yuying is already so frail, and you still want to take advantage of her!”
Realizing what was happening, Xue Shaohua immediately chased after the direction the scooter had gone.
“No! She’s weak, you can’t do this!”
At that moment, Xue Shaohua had no other thoughts; he only knew one thing: if Hu Yuying was taken away by Long Aotian, she would face dire consequences.
Recalling the guy he had seen in the public restroom earlier, Xue Shaohua felt a chill run down his spine.
Why couldn’t they just leave her alone when she was already so weak?
The woman he cared for, who was suffering, shouldn’t be toyed with like this!
With that thought, Xue Shaohua felt like a fearless knight, charging forward for love!
But despite using all his strength, he still couldn’t catch up, only to be left far behind.
Gasping for breath, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
“She’s been taken away...”
“What do you mean taken away? Be clear!”
“Hu, Hu Yuying has been taken away by Long Aotian again...” Xue Shaohua struggled to control his emotions, finally managing to say those words.
“Damn it...”

“Long Ge, you have no idea how much I missed you after we parted,” Hu Yuying whispered from the back seat, wrapping her arms around Long Aotian while gently rubbing the spot she had pinched earlier.
“You’re in trouble now; you’ve fallen into my love trap.”
Hearing this, Hu Yuying giggled, resting her chin on Long Aotian’s shoulder, “What should I do then?”
“There’s no escape; you’re destined to be mine in this life. Just accept it,” Long Aotian sighed dramatically, pretending to be serious.
“Alright then, I’ll just have to accept my fate. From now on, I’m yours,” Hu Yuying said, feeling shy as she spoke, tightening her embrace around Long Aotian to ease her own embarrassment.
Perhaps for both of them at this moment, this was a kind of happiness.
“I’ll open the door.”
Arriving at home, Hu Yuying hopped out to open the gate. After Long Aotian entered, she quickly locked the door and ran to catch up with him, giggling, “Hee hee hee, it’s so dark...”
Long Aotian turned around and scooped Hu Yuying into his arms, “Wuwuwu, I’m the big bad wolf, and now I’ve caught you. I’m going to eat you up...”
With that, he buried his head in the crook of her neck, greedily inhaling her scent.
Feeling ticklish from the kisses, Hu Yuying shrank her neck and playfully said, “I’m so scared! Please don’t eat me, Big Bad Wolf Long Ge...”
After playing around enough, they settled down.
Long Aotian started boiling water.
“First, drink some brown sugar water. Later, we’ll soak our feet in warm water and then hit the hay early.”
“Got it, Long Ge.” Hu Yuying obediently took the brown sugar water, sipping it while smiling at Long Aotian, who was busy taking care of her.
Being cared for feels wonderful, and being cared for by someone you like feels even better.
She rummaged through her bag and found the underwear she had left at his place last time, asking, “These are all clean and dried. Do you want to change?”
“Yeah.”
After washing her feet, she took out a sanitary pad from her outer pocket and was about to head outside with the clean underwear.
“What are you doing?” Long Aotian asked, surprised, looking at Hu Yuying.
Hu Yuying blushed and said, “Um... it’s dirty... I’m going outside...”
She didn’t want Long Aotian to see it, fearing he might find it disgusting...
“Change here.” He gently wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead, “My little girl is so good.”
Soon, Hu Yuying pushed open the door, holding a trash bag in her hand, “Long Ge, you go wash your feet. I’ll take out the trash.”
There was a trash can right by the door, so she wasn’t worried.
After washing their feet, the two of them lay side by side on the bed, turning to look at each other, unable to stop smiling.
